Proud of the Hogs tonight.they lost but they showed a lot of fight

[hogsanity]

Yes, it's year 7 and we are a projected 4-5 seed, maybe 6 seed after this week.  What more do you want?

what more do I want? I'd love to see them actually have some set plays for then the motion ( watch 4 guys stand around while one dribbles for 25 seconds ) offense just is not working. I'd love to know that at a key moment they wont give up a offensive board or a wide open 3 because they trap someone 35 ft from the basket and leave a shooter wide open.

[farfromgroovins]

lol, me two.

That's funny write their

[PharmacistHog]

I am sorry. Damn voice typing.

I knew thats what it was, but it still made me laugh. Need some funny stuff around here after the last two games.

[razorpimp]

You expect us to win all games huh? Undefeated right?

Not at all....but these two losses have shown the ceiling of a Mike Anderson team, and I do not see any strides in recruiting for me to think it will be any better in subsequent years!

Also a losers mentality is to come in here and give any credit after a loss like tonight!  It wasn't that auburn was playing that great, the hogs played horrific defense!!!  Defense travels on the road

[Hawgndaaz]

Mike has been and always be a good coach.

He has not and will never be a great coach.

[farfromgroovins]

The only thing I'm proud of this game was that it was on TV, and I didn't have to listen to it on the radio. Auburn beat us soundly and I'm sure we will return the favor when they come here. Same as we will do for Miss.St. Losses are never good, just gotta find a way to fix the problems.

I don't think lack of depth can be fixed. We have 1 person that comes in and contributes and it is a crapshoot who that will be.

Fcj, time to pump sunshine somewhere else. I don't think most of this crowd is going to be receptive. It's been too much inconsistency the last 7 years.

[Albert Einswine]

10 years ago I would be your huckleberry but alas I matured a little. Ease up though, people are frustrated and MA has not delivered Nolan 2.0 and not really close to it. So yeah the time comment is going to come out.

Last I wasn't there but I apologize for the poor actions some of our fans showed you!

Those were USC fans. 2005 was at the Colosseum.

Very accurate quote!

[HogBreath]

Auburn played really well.so i give them credit.but so loved how the Hogs never gave up.they kept fighting until the very end.Auburn shooting won this game.got to find a way to start getting some stops on defense.and keep Gafford out of foul trouble.over all i am not that upset. we just got beat by a good team today.and this one was not because of the refs like the Miss.State game was.it's a long season folks.the Hogs will be fine. going to win some and lose some. GO Hogs.

Great post Joe....+55....enjoy the big loss.

[daprospecta]

Correct, I was not a fan at the game, I was a player.

[alohawg]

That's funny write their

Know sheet.


These last 2 games were just brutal, rather laugh than cry.

[Kevin]

We are not the number 22 team in the country anymore

It is a movie we have all seen before.

In the end 21-24 wins, beaten the first weekend of the NCAA tournament

Get ready for next year to be the same

[roothawg]

This team should be better than this. To much standing waiting on one guy to make a play. we have 7 seniors on this team yet we still do this, it is sad because this team has the talent to be special. The guys need to come together and play team ball and quit the 1 on 1 stuff, Then they can beat anybody. Go Hogs

[hobhog]

I wish someone WOULD and I repeat WOULD say this in my face. Those guys are fighting hard on the court. We didn't win but road games are TOUGH! There was a stat a few years ago where the best teams in the country won 40% of their road games.  I know what it's like to be a student athlete.  While your buddies are partying, you are either in study hall or on a flight to play your next game.  Many of you don't know what it's like to play a road game in college. That USC game in 2005, got soda poured on me and insults and things thrown the entire game.  We are the number 22 team in the country, that may change next week but the same guys dissing CMA were the same clamoring for more time for CBB.  Only an idiot does not see the progress.  Yes, it's year 7 and we are a projected 4-5 seed, maybe 6 seed after this week.  What more do you want?

A new coach

I would like for anderson's best team to be a top 3 seed. The team with 6 seniors facing a drop off next year. That doesn't seem too much to ask. We have won 2 NCAA tournament games in 6 years, is that sufficient for you?

[elksnort]

Mike has been and always be a good coach.

He has not and will never be a great coach.

I think many, if not most of us feel this way. 

[AFWarrior83]

They fought hard in the 2nd half, after they played a lousy 1st half. I'll be proud of them when they play a complete game (win or lose). If the hogs play hard a full game, then I don't see many loses.

Yep. Late in the second half if Macon just could have hit a three or two, as he often does, and if that three pointer AU made that bounced high off the front of the rim and somehow went in hadn't gone, we might have pulled off the comeback win.  We were within seven points several times with chances to get closer, but just couldn't close the deal this time.  Barford almost brought us back single-handedly, but he needed some help from Macon that just didn't come this time.

[hobhog]

My son is a student and huge Hog fan. He and his buddies are not big MA fans and were not impressed with the "effort".

AU owned us with a team picked to do nothing this year. I guess the refs screwed us again.

Yes, been there done that. Losing all these seniors this year will buy Mike 3-4 more years. I think he is "coach for life" regardless.

With Mr. Integrity Long? Sure. The new AD I bet he's starting to wonder if Hogs can do better. It's not like if they get rid of MA at season's end they lose a 5*.

Hopefully whatever decision is made is for the betterment of the University of Arkansas

[Rocket23]

didn't play much in the 2nd half and we made a big comeback!!

Yet He was in late and jacks up three early then drives for layup when a three was critical when we needed to cut from eight.

[HF#1]

We were incredibly soft and passive the last two games. No intensity, no pressure, no energy. That has to change when we go on the road.

[Iwastherein1969]

getting down 21 points to Auburn in hoops is simply pathetic...I don't give a damm what their record might be...we had the better talent on the court last night, a team willing to run up and down the court with us and we just couldn't get the job done....the Hogs are quickly losing their shine and if they don't get it together and soon, we can worry about having a first NIT game at home instead of our seeding in the NCAA tournament

[hogsanity]

you think they are going to pay another huge buyout in a sport where apparently several thousand will just turnout out to see Mike on the sideline.

[cardsNhogs]

and then win on Saturday and we are 13-4 and 3-2 in the SEC and back on track

Then we will go on the road and get beat again.
